Rafale and Viper the masters of the "CHARIOTEER": French fighter "game changer" leaders and upgraded "Vipers" in air to air battles
The AESA electronically scanned radars of both the Rafale (RBE2 AA) and the F-16 Viper (APG-83) seem to outperform all others

The monstrous Indian Su-30MK I and the almost similarly sized impressive F-15s of the Royal Saudi Air Force may have attracted all eyes in the great multinational exercise "
INIOHOS 23", but the masters of the skies so far seem to be the French Rafale fighters of our Air Force and Armee D'el Air as well as the upgraded F-16 Viper of HAF.
Their powerful radars and electronic jamming systems combined with the weapons they carry give them, as already shown in the first days of the exercise, a significant advantage in air to air combat over very powerful opponents. And even unknown in some cases, such as the SU-30 MK I of the Indian Air Force, which for the first time not only participate in a "CHARIOTEER" but are co-trained with Greek fighters.
The AESA electronically scanned radars of both the Rafale (RBE2 AA) and the F-16 Viper (APG-83) seem to outperform all the others and "read" positions at much greater distances targeting faster and with great accuracy. Especially the Rafale with the powerful A/A Meteor in their arsenal seem to have a huge advantage since they go much further than any other fighter projectile.
However, the results of the self-protection and jamming systems of the two fighters seem to be impressive, with the Spectra of the Rafale and the Aspis II of the Viper creating a very difficult electronic warfare environment for any enemy fighter.
Although the Air Force has been flying with Rafale for less than a year and a half and with Viper for only a few months, the results of the superiority of the two aircraft fully satisfy the Air Staff. As he sees that he now has in his "quiver" two state-of-the-art war "machines" which in the hands of Greek pilots perform excellently. And as long as the Rafale and Viper are operationally integrated, the results will seal the dominance of the "blue" wings, Air Force officials estimate.
The exercise during its first week has exceeded all expectations as, apart from the excellent climate and the immediate integration of the "new", the fact that eight different types of fighters with distinctive characteristics take part gives KEAT the opportunity to design complex high-difficulty scenarios. No one knows how the missions will unfold as all the airmen exhaust every possibility of the aircraft and only profit is the result.
Characteristic is the huge interest gained in debriefing where the missions and "successes" of each fighter and each crew are analyzed in detail, while respectively points that need improvement are highlighted.
The "newentries" in the "INIOHOS 23" Indians with the impressive size SU-30 MK I, the Jordanians with the very powerful F-16s and the Saudis with the imposing F-15s seem to have a high aviation culture.
So, together with the "hawks" of HAF and the very capable French, Spanish and Italians in mixed formations, they execute with high professionalism all the scenarios which next week will increase to the degree of difficulty as the formations increase in numbers.

There are public reports from Indian media here, which also provide a detailed description of the situation at that time. However, you only mentioned that Su 30 could communicate without saying whether there was any interference
